it's allabout the building for me, I love Tamiya remote control cars, the 4WD pick up truck, with the steel ladder chassis, leaf springs, detailed working axles, with diff locks, DROOL, way out of my price range!
once built I have no interest in them, as a kid I used to shoot my airfix kits with my air rifle

Airfix kits were good in their day for kids on limited budgets/spending money. I learnt so much about 2nd world war planes and tanks from them, not that it ever proved useful apart from the odd quiz question. The American Sherman tank was an M4 to the yanks, it was christened the Sherman by the Brits, named after the Civil War general. As Michael Caine would have said, not many people know that.

these guys produce some amazing detail builds, and the style suits me as I cant build full size custom cars and bikes any more.

A few of this year's builds attached.

The truck was the kit which got me into modelling cars in the early sixties. I built it badly then, then it eventually ended up in the bin. I found one built up for sale on one of the above websites, in a very sorry state, so i had to buy it and turn it into a 4x4. Its even the same color as my last one!
